[QUOTE="del2les, post: 1732110, member: 9299"] Today, I received a written response from GFP regarding the question of heat/thermal game locators after a kill, and here is their response. Emphasis mine: From: Nachtigall, Bruce <Bruce.Nachtigall@state.sd.us> "Mr. *****, "There is nothing currently in our rules or law prohibiting the use of this game locating device at this time because [B]it is not an optical device[/B]. So [U][I]it can be used[/I][/U] in South Dakota at this time. I have attached our night vision/ thermal imaging/spotlight law below for reference. This law has seen several revision in recent years." [B]41-8-17. Night-vision equipment and artificial light in hunting prohibited--Exceptions-- (snipped for brevity) [/B]For the purposes of this section, night-vision equipment is an [B][I][U]optical device[/U][/I][/B] utilizing light amplifying circuits that are electrical or battery powered. The provisions of this section do not apply to a law enforcement officer in the performance of the officer's duty. [B][/B] Respectfully, Bruce [B][/B] [/QUOTE]
